I had really high expectations for Mezzaterranean given its robust 5-star rating on Yelp. However, I was disappointed by my recent visit here. The ambiance was very casual and simple. Service wasn't that friendly. It must've been an off day! For every question, I received a terse response. I shrugged it off because ultimately, it comes down to the food for me! The beef shawarma fries were pretty good. The tahini sauce was sweet and was a decadent condiment drizzled over the fries. The fries were great to munch on. The chicken shawarma plate came with salad, rice, pita, and hummus. The pita was refillable. The hummus was good. I'm a sucker for hummus so hummus can't go wrong for me! The rice was typical of a Mediterranean restaurant. The salad had a tangy dressing. However, what it came down to was the chicken shawarma, which I found to be okay. It wasn't as tender nor as flavored as I expected. I can think of a handful of other restaurants who have chicken shawarma that I would prefer. While I enjoyed the beef shawarma fries, I'd be hesitant in returning. Sometimes after a long day of work when you don't feel like cooking, you just want to relax and have some good food. Unfortunately, that didn't quite happen successfully when I was here. read more

Mezzaterranean - Beef shawarma fries - Lebanese Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Food is good, prices are reasonable, nice people, basic service, that place is actually good

Do you like experiencing fireworks? You might like to watch them but this place packs fireworks in your mouth like a whole nother experience. Put their hummus in my tummus anyday. This little shop is small and gets busy real quick during rush hours, but nonetheless service is quick and completely on their A game. Id recommend the chicken kabab plate, substitute rice for the tahini salad upgrade. My goto! read more

Amazing service + huge portioned food + great prices! What more can I ask for! Environment/Service: Although this restaurant is very plain (like just white walls, tables, chairs, cash register and kitchen), their service here is on point! All of the workers were so kind. They were also fast with preparing their food. The customer service here was just so great which made a big difference on my impression of this restaurant. Food: -Beef Shawarma Fries ($6.99): Out of all of the dishes we ordered, this has to be my favorite. Some places tend to be more on the less generous side when it comes to putting beef or other toppings on the fries, but not here. The presentation of the food was also on point which is also great! -Chicken Kabob Plate ($8.99): The chicken kabobs were infused with so much flavor! It was absolutely delicious. Honestly I wanted more after. The plate comes with rice, salad, and pita bread with hummus. The rice was good, nothing out of the ordinary. The salad was too sour. There was too much of a lime taste which made it a little hard to finish. That was honestly the only downside to my overall experience here. The hummus was also delicious. There was so much food that we actually ended up taking the hummus and pita bread to go because it was so good but we couldn't finish it all. -Salmon Filet Plate ($10.99): The salmon was mouthwatering. The edges of the salmon filet were crispy which was my favorite part. I wanted to take more bites out of my sister's plate but since she's a vegetarian and everything we ordered had meat I didn't want to "try" too much of her salmon. This also came with the rice, super sour salad, and pita bread with hummus. -Soujuk Sandwich ($5.99): I didn't really know what to expect for this. It said it was spicy but it really wasn't but nevertheless it was still delicious. I think I just really like their hummus and pita bread. And their pickled beats that were also in the sandwich were so good! My sandwich was also wrapped in foil so by the time I got to my second half it was still slightly warm. This place deserves 4 1/2 stars. Half a star off because the salad was just a really big miss for me. Mezzaterranean, you guys are gonna do so well once more people hear about you guys!! I can't wait to come back! read more

I've eaten here quite a few times and often order the family meals they have. My entire family loves their food and the prices are reasonable. read more

My husband and I were in this area and searched yelp for a good spot to eat. Glad we came here... it was soooo good! I'm a Mediterranean food lover and this place did not disappoint. There wasn't a big crowd so we got our food quickly. I loved the family owned restaurant good vibes and the guy that cooked our food also brought it out to us and proudly presented it. You can tell he really puts his heart and soul in his food that he prepares. That's very hard to find. Big portions. Fair pricing and owners who work hard and make their food with love. It was delicious and our toddler gobbled it up as well. If we are ever in the area again... we will be back. Thank you! read more

So yummy! Been looking for good mediterranean food and this place has it. Even looks like the workers are legit ;) Try it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

I used to love this place. What happened! The food is not the same. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate and the chicken was very dry and it had a weird red sauce on it. It looked pan fried. The portions were large but I'll take quality vs quantity any day. I hate to leave a bad review, hopefully the owners will read this and start serving authentic Lebanese food again. read more

First I gotta tell you that I have a healthy appetite. Proof: Back in the day I went on a date and homeboy was like, "Damn you can eat huh?!" Yeah, I can. Fast forward to today: I'm pregnant and craving good Lebanese food. Aww yess this place is so good! Also, the portions are HUGE! I got a trio plate and ate dinner, ate lunch , still have enough to eat dinner again. My man (not same homeboy previously mentioned), will eat dinner twice from the trio plate. Good flavor, fast service, good price for the portions. read more

I had lunch here a couple years ago and remember it being so good, but it has definitely changed. The quality and portions of the food were disappointing. It didn't taste as fresh as I remember. They wouldn't be my first choice when craving Mediterranean cuisine. Did an online order and they left out an extra sauce, so I was a little disappointed that I paid extra for that, and it was not busy. The staff seemed friendly, and I left a 15% gratuity for my takeout order. read more

The food was so flavorful and fresh! Definitely a must! I ordered the chicken shawarma plate

I have been here twice now and I have not been disappointed at all. Clean restaurant and friendly staff. I've been getting the Chicken Shawarma entrée and let me tell you, BOMB! Comes with a decent serving of chicken, rice, hummus and Mezzateranean salad and pita bread. Filling portion let me tell you. I was never a fan of Mediterranean food, until I gave this place a shot. Now I cant get enough of this place. I work Saturdays and the best part about working Saturdays now is my lunch. Thumbs up. P.s. If you are in a hurry, call ahead. It does get busy. read more

The trio is the way to go! Could feed three people. Bit of a hole in the whole but the food is what matters.

This food is SO FRESH and SOOOO GOOD!!! The best Baba Ghanoush this side of heaven!! The service is amazing - They remembered our order from the first time we came a week ago! They need to open a restaurant in Palm Desert so we don't have to drive so far! Wonderful experience! read more

Used Door Dash to have Mezzaterranean delivered to me today and it did not disappoint. I haven't been feeling too good so I ordered the chicken shawarma with salad, rice, and pita bread. While the pita bread is not home-made at the restaurant (as it came in its original packaging), it was still delicious and helped my upset stomach. The best part of my order was the sambousek. It's similar to an empeñada and super tasty. I would recommend ordering a set as an appetizer. Portion sizes are great and prices are decent for the quality of food you receive. I look forward to visiting the location itself sometime and adventuring through the menu. read more

I'm very disappointed, I recently order from one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants, the only place I used to enjoy eating at before the whole pandemic so I decided to ordered take out, the usual chicken kebab plate and I couldn't believe what I saw once I opened the box, super dry small overly cooked portion of chicken and also a very small portion of hummus and this picture was taken before I tried the food which to be honest I barely touched any of it and did not enjoy the little I had... read more

It's not what it used to be. The food does not taste the same as it did a couple years ago. It's not even real beef shawarma, nothing was slow cooked on the cone. This was just meat thrown on the skillet and overly seasoned with lemon zest. And has the nerve to be $19.99 per plate. Ugh. read more

Hair in my food. Called multiple times, no answer, no voicemail. Can't make your mess up right when you don't answer the phone. read more

Food was dangerously good I recommend the trio plate and double down on the pita bread, you'll need it read more

Great food every time. Service is awesome Family owned. Prices are good and large portions worth visiting. Hummus is awesome! read more

Hadn't been to this spot in a couple of months since the whole Covid thing started closing restaurants, but I decided to go because of the negative comment that somebody recently left LOL. I used to be a regular here and always get great service and amazing food. This time was no exception. The food here is the bomb! And the people are absolutely awesome. Can't go wrong with the chicken kebab plate, or a chicken Shawarma sandwich, or salmon plate. Food is amazing. All the other 5 star reviews say it all. Can't say that enough - till next time :-) read more

Mezzaterranean - My friend grilling my salmon. Yum!! - Lebanese Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

This is easily one of my favorite places in Rancho. I've been coming here regularly for the past year or two, and they have never failed to great me with a smile and amazing customer service. Now, the food itself is great. I usually gravitate towards the chicken shawarma sandwich or the chicken kebab plate, but you really can't go wrong. I also love their fries, whether that be the shawarma fries or just the regular ones. There's a lovely atmosphere, and I can't think of anything I'd like to change about this place. I've introduced a couple friends to Mezza, and all of them keep going back! read more

Mezzaterranean - chicken shawarma fries and beef kebab plate - Lebanese Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

First time ordering here. When I picked up my order. I was a bit sticker shock on the price. However, the food is really good and you do get a lot for the price. I ordered the chicken Kabob plate and the Trio plate. The meat is very tender and flavorful. The salad has a lot of seasoning and the rice is fluffy and moist. Service was good. I hope they get more customers. read more

Came here right now with a friend. This place gets super busy. But the girl that works here was very helpful It was our first time here. We ordered our food and did eat here. Over all everything was great! Workers are super nice The place is kinda small. Might be hard to get a table when it's busy. I will come back! Prices are fair. Thanks! read more

Best hummus I've had in a long time and very friendly staff. I also had the chicken kabob which was fresh to order and seasoned perfectly. Would definitely go baxk read more

Probably great food, but I left as soon as I came in because they have no air conditioning on a 100° day

My first visit was not what I expected - it was better. This place is perfect for take out or sit down. It can get pretty crowded in there especially during the lunchtime hours. The food is served hot, aside from the salad. The salad is incredible. They tweaked the flavors and I could eat a huge bowl of it. Of course, the pita bread is store bought but at least the hummus was smooth and creamy. Both dishes were filling, tasty, and I still had a little to take home. The service was friendly and quick. The owner seemed to appreciate I didn't want to waste food and was more than accommodating to help me pack up my leftovers. Yes, I loved my food so much I took the rest home. No shame here. Overall, this place is great and I'd definitely come again. read more

My wife and I recently had a craving for Mediterranean food and wanted to try a new restaurant. We stopped by Mezzaterranean and loved the smell once we walked in. The food on the grill smelled amazing. We ordered a chicken shawarma plate, a beef shawarma plate, tatziki, and tabbouleh. I'm a stickler for good tabbouleh and I was not disappointed. It was delicious. The humus that came with our combination plates was perfect with the flat bread. We have been telling our friends and family to try Mezzaterranean ASAP. read more

if your looking for a great Mediterranean place this place is the best for kabobs. always fresh great service

Yes. I. AM. A. FAN. Open for only 3 months, huh? Well Mezzaterranean, you keep doing what you are doing because this girl is a fan. Yelp listed a few other places, but I support new and local businesses and I think this one is my next favorite. Courteous service, upon arrival and upon seating. The located is small, but it packs big flavor. I can see this place get full, quick. My friend and I showed later in the day, very close to closing time, but the workers did not pressure us to leave, they simply said to sit and enjoy the meal as we completed our dishes. Beef shawarma Plate. Tasty! The meat was cooked differently that what I know it as (I know it more as shaved meat), but this place serves a hearty serving of pan flamed beef with fluffy rice, hummus, and green salad with a nice dressing. The whole plate packed flavor that did not distract from the others. Excellent. In addition to that, pita bread, which is warmed up for you. It is not freshly made, but still just as delicious. Oh, and stuffed grape leaves are my favorite! These were a bit tiny, and even our server knew that, so we were served five pieces instead of four, complimentary of the chef. Yum. This is a good one for the vegetarians! What made this dish different from other grape leaves I have tried: also cooked in olive oil. Normally I hear they are cooked in lemon juice, so olive oil was a new spin on its flavor. Still delicious. Unfortunately this place sells its drink by the can. Coke products. But I sure that once Mezzaterranean gets into gear, this place will be grow in popularity. read more

Mezzaterranean - Stuffed grape leaves and beef Shawarma (spelling?) with salad and hummus. All very delicious! - Lebanese Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Pros: Food was superb & prices were excellent. Chicken kebab entree..Chicken was moist & full of flavor, rice was very good, hummus/pita were very good & the Mediterranean salad was fresh & Crisp. Falafel sandwich was perfect & moist in the center. Stuffed grape leaves were exactly how I like them.. warm & lemony! Lebni is not my thing but the boyfriend loved it and finished every last drop. Cons: NO ice available, too tiny for the patrons & we actually got tossed out minutes after our last bite to make the table available for the next patrons waiting (but then they felt bad and brought a free dessert to try). Short hours: closed on Sundays & only open until 7pm. Well deserving of their 5 star rating and we'll definitely be back!!! read more

Found this spot on Doordarshan and decided to try out a new Greek spot. Ordered their Greek Salad. I am thinking this salad was going to come small but it arrived in a large to-go container. Great balance of lettuce, feta and other toppings. Additionally the dressing was bust the right amount. Good food, great prices. Will definitely order again. read more

This is by far the best Mediterranean food I've had since moving to California from Oregon 2 years ago. The food was so fresh and flavorful. I had the salmon plate (cooked perfectly), grape leaves, falafel, and baba ganoush. It was a ton of food, very reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and food was cooked fresh. 10/10 would recommend and come back!! read more

Such yummy food!!! I absolutely loved everything I tried here, and there were definitely a few standouts! -Chicken Shwarma: beautifully spiced, moist, tender and perfectly paired with the crisp, lemony salad, hummus and rice pilaf. -Salmon Filet Plate: a generous portion of Spiced Salmon over a bed of rice, served with salad and hummus. -Hummus: probably ate an entire container's worth by myself -Tzatziki: wonderfully herbed yogurt dip, served with a side of pita -Baklava: buttery, flakey, crunchy, nutty and oh so wonderful -Cake: there was a rose water and honey cake on the counter that I tried; very unique flavor but I think it might be more of an acquired taste/not for everyone. I personally enjoyed it but my mom and sister weren't huge fans read more
